I play these games in relax mode, because, duh, I want to relax. There are at least two levels where there is a timed element (take actions before people become too cold, douse fires before they reach people) that, despite putting the game in relax mode, require action and create a stressful atmosphere. If you play these games in timed mode anyway, you will enjoy it, but if, like me, you are seeking true relaxation, give this one a miss.
I don't recommend this game.

I think this is the first time I have every given 5 stars across the board for a game. This was fun from beginning to end and beyond! Storyline kept me playing, almost every mini game and hidden object scene had a twist that made it different from any I had played before and after it's over, you have truly fun mini games and a different version of hidden object (find the scene) to play. I can tell I am going to get hours of fun from this purchase.
I recommend this game!

This series is an auto-buy for me, much to my regret this morning. The movement of the playing area has no purpose and serves only to create a low level of nausea when I play it.
So far, the challenges have been repetitive and not nearly as enjoyable as in previous incarnations. I truly wish I had tried it before buying. Lesson learned.

The basic adventure is solid. The HO scenes challenging (but in relax mode the hint refills quickly) the music is awesome, and the use of 'find a series of objects' to cast a spell is surprisingly challenging yet doable, since you soon come to learn what each object looks like. Since they are in an array that changes with every spell cast (new objects layered over the existing objects) I never got bored.
After you finish the adventure, you have even more fun awaiting when you can attempt duels with various creatures OR spend some lovely relaxing time working jigsaws of gorgeous locations, still with that great music. Great value, and a game I return to again and again.

All the fun of watching your tank without the nit picky actually caring for the fish. Lots of themes, CE has many extra decorations. Can buy multiple tanks and decorate individually.
I can see this as a long term play as I decided to decorate then use as a screen saver.

I love this game. It had lots of adventure and strategy with a break from the doom-and-gloom of many of the current adventures. Lightly sprinkled with HO scenes, and with a wide variety of games and tasks that kept me riveted.
Graphics beautiful and music unobtrusive, great storyline with a good lead in to the next in the series (which I hope will be soon!)

This is going to rank right up there with Royal Envoy, My Kingdom for the Princess etc. Set in Viking era, lots of interesting interactives on each level and a good solid storyline make this a winner.

I loved this game. I was predisposed to like it because I enjoy builder-type games then hesitated, fearing the movement method (click and drag) might make my vertigo kick in, but worry not, the graphics were such that it was a sharp, not swoopy movement which made it fine.
After the first few chapters I thought it might be getting monotonous but then the cavern section in chapter three cropped up which was just different enough to keep my interest going. I am thoroughly enjoying this game.
It is like an untimed building game with a great story spine that drives your actions. Lots to do, but very relaxing.
